Nicole1775 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I take gabba and 7-keto and they both contain rice starch. My multivitamin contains soy and my b12 has a bunch of ingredients that end in -ose. Should I not take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 5, 2013 They do not measure up to Whole30 standards. You need to find alternatives or save these for after your Whole30. And you may not need them at all during a Whole30. Here are some links to supplement related discussions: http://whole9life.com/2010/08/whole9-supplement-evaluation-checklist/http://whole9life.com/2010/09/supplements-part-ii/http://whole9life.com/2012/04/probiotics-101/http://whole9life.com/2012/09/digestive-enzymes-101/http://chriskresser.com/calcium-supplements-why-you-should-think-twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJB Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I have never taken Gaba, but I just looked it up on Amazon...at least one of the NOW Foods brand appears to be compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready4chg Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I am responding to this thread because I see where Tom listed some info on supplements. I read this as I am concerned about my calcium/D and even some other vitamin/mineral consumption. I eat regular meals, but it doesn't take much to feel me up. I rarely eat a meal as large as suggested on Whole 30, although I am eating the proper foods. I recently started tracking my meals on a tracker that tracks vitamins/minerals as well to check this. It appears that I am getting very little calcium/vitamin D on a regular basis. The other vitamins/minerals spike and fall on various days so it just depends on what I eat that day. This does not worry me. However, it does bother me that I am not getting hardly any calcium or d. The days that I notice a slight increase in these I believe falls on days that I wasn't feeling well so I drank green juice or smoothies. I know these are not recommended, but Is it okay for me to use smoothies/green juice as a supplement in order to avoid taking vitamin supplements? Any other suggestions on helping to get these numbers up? Thanks for any and all feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 To increase vitamin D, get out in the sun! (Without sunscreen) If you can't eat big meals, eat more meals to keep your intake up and include lots of dark leafy greens - they don't need to be in a smoothie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
